Example cost tables
Option 1: Single instance deployment (default)
When deploying this solution using an AWS CloudFormation template, modifying the OpensearchMultiAz parameter to No deploys a single instance for the OpenSearch Service domain, and modifying the CreateNeptuneReplica parameter to No deploys a single instance for the Neptune data store. The single instance deployment option incurs a lower cost, but it reduces the availability of Workload Discovery on AWS in the event of an Availability Zone failure.

Option 2: Multiple instances deployment
When deploying this solution using an AWS CloudFormation template, modifying the OpensearchMultiAz parameter to Yes deploys two instances in two Availability Zones for the OpenSearch Service domain, and modifying the CreateNeptuneReplica parameter to Yes deploys two instances in two Availability Zones for the Neptune data store. The multiple instances deployment option will cost more to run, but it increases the availability of Workload Discovery on AWS in the event of an Availability Zone failure.
